Ohhhhh.... is that how it is? That's right. They went Playstation on that with the X1 right?

I hear ya then SK... luckily I don't plan on going without Live. Good till Feb 2015 right now.

Yeah it seems to be how it is with XB1. With the 360 you just have to have a gold account to download it. Once it is downloaded you can play them whenever you want regardless of subscription status. With the XB1 you have to have a gold in order to play them at all.

Yeah... except Dishonored was discounted during the summer games sale to ~$7.50 and I and a lot of other people bit. The game is obviously worth the money, no question there, I just feel a bit duped is all. I did the same thing with Dark Souls, provided I think there was a bit more time in between the sale and the Games w/ Gold thing. All this means is I'm less likely to jump on a game on sale now as it's likely an indication it will be on GwG soon.

I almost jumped on that sale as well. I was just hoping for the disc with all the DLC to go on sale for $10. A real bummer for those that just got a deal of a sale, only to be shown the same for free. This has been the #1 feedback topic I've heard on this months offerings. Hopefully MS listens. I really liked the Guacamelee release where we got it free (on XB1) on it's release, and now it's a pay for game. Maybe it would have been better if Dishonored was free with gold for a spell, and then on sale a few weeks later. That would have been better to the loyal gold members.
